Create Your Balance

In this episode, I'm about to go with another unpopular opinion because I'm just not understanding the big attraction with Ozempic. I have a LOT of questions. I know a few people who are using Ozempic to help with type 2 diabetes and I get that.

I'm a little confused about the big attraction to it for weight loss. If you know me, you know I have questions and of course, I'll be addressing them in this episode. These questions are some that you may even have and/or IF you are contemplating or even using Ozempic for weight loss, you may want to ask your doctor these questions.

If you've followed me for an amount of time, you know how I feel about weight loss products. I'm not a huge fan at all. What I am a fan of is LEARNING about our bodies and actually knowing what they need on an individual level. You can eat all the kale, try all the diets, and diet pills and injections BUT, if you don't dive deep and look at the big picture of WHY you struggle with weight loss, you may never see sustainable results.

I also love how the advertisement even has a catchy little tune so you sing it all day and won't forget about it.

I'm just curious IF it is doing more harm than good for the long haul. So let's dive in.

Keeping your metabolism primed and working at its best is crucial for losing weight and keeping it off.

However, some of the things we are doing from day to day may actually be slowing down our metabolism.

On a regular basis, these habits could make it hard to lose weight — and even make you more prone to gain weight in the future.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about 6 lifestyle mistakes that may be slowing down our metabolism.

From making sure we are eating enough to adding a little strength training to our workouts I'm dropping it all right here in this episode.

Bottom line, making a few small little changes and incorporating these tips into your routine can help your metabolism

Having a well-primed metabolism can help you lose weight and keep it off, if that is your goal, while also giving you more energy.

Let's talk about this…shall we??

In this episode, I'm going to be letting you in on a little secret of the NUMBER ONE habit you need to break in order to see sustainable weight loss.

Of course there are many habits that can help you lose weight, like eating more vegetables, getting adequate protein, keeping a food journal and moving your body more.

BUT, there are also some habits that can keep you from seeing the scale move—eating mindlessly, turning to food when you're stressed and drinking your calories to name a few.

There is ONE HABIT that is deeply ingrained for may of us who have been lifelong dieters, and while most people think it is helping, it actually could be the reason you aren't seeing lasting results.

This habit is actually slowing down your metabolism and causing us to GAIN weight in the long run…even though the diet industry is jamming it down our throats that it is the be all, end all to weight loss.

So what IS the number one habit you should break?? Let's chat about that. Shall we??

In this episode, I'm going to be revealing the reasons WHY what we've been told about weight loss is WRONG…It's time we start rethinking weight loss and looking at it from a whole new perspective.

The things we've been told about weight loss are pretty much bullshit and I'm going to fill you in on the top 5 reasons.

I believe in taking a balanced approach to health and wellness and I do NOT believe these myths are promoting any balance at all. It's time to say goodbye to the quick fixes, weight loss trends, and restrictive mindsets.

Having goals are great and all BUT they MUST be realistic and they have to be something you can sustain for the long haul and in the diet world, that's not REALISTIC…

SO, let's debunk these myths…shall we??

In this episode, I'm about to tear apart a few of the "fancy" fitness and nutrition trends that NEED TO GO!!! I know, this might ruffle some feathers but I'm totally okay with that.

There is so much out there these days and all the trendy programs can actually be a little on the UNHEALTHY side and I just feel that needs to be out there in the open so people can understand FULLY and then make their choices based on that and not on the fact that "everyone" is out there doing it.

I know I know…you saw some awesome results from some of these I am about to talk about. I'm not discrediting your hard work at all. If it works for you, keep doing what you're doing.

Most of these "Trends" are not sustainable and you will not see LONG TERM results. Sure, you'll initially see results but they more than likely will NOT stick and each time you will find it harder and harder to maintain and I'll be telling you exactly WHY in this podcast.

********************************************

I discussed a bit about before and after photos as I am not a huge fan of those either and here's why

Are you Sabotaging Your Results with Before and After Pictures?

Summer is just around the corner and we're all "gearing up for summer" and trying to get rid of our winter bodies!!

Oh, if you know me, you know I'm going to be bringing some light to this situation in this podcast. This "summer Body" is such toxic BS and it's doing more harm than good…unless you're the diet industry!!

These summer bodies, beach bodies, or whatever they are calling it these days have a huge toll on our mental health. SURRREE, skinny is healthy…IS IT?? I mean who doesn't want to be able to show off their 5 pack and tight booty in their new bikini at the beach and pool parties???

Isn't that what's getting all the attention these days? …as a LOT of us look at our body with disgust thinking IF ONLY we could lose that winter weight, then summer would be awesome!!!

This type of thinking has a toll on our mental health. Besides making us unhappy with our own bodies and distressed because of what others might think of us, it can cause some of us to dive into eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. This diet culture is conveying the wrong message, yet so many are buying into it.

Just take a look at social media and everything that's out there promoting it. Some of it, if not ALL of it can be VERY unhealthy. Oh, come on…" how in the world can this be unhealthy"?

Oh, don't worry, I'm about to talk about all of it.

It's time we change this toxic narrative and start to appreciate our bodies for what they do for us. We are so much more than a number on the scale or a size!!

I'm about to reveal a few more hidden truths in this next episode…

There are a lot of hidden truths the fitness industry won't tell you and a lot of these truths are useful information that could make a difference in someone's fitness journey by saving them time and money.

With this in mind, I want to highlight aspects of the fitness industry that people should keep in mind in order not to get disillusioned along their journey or make mistakes that could be easily avoided by having just a little bit more insight.

Go ahead and ask me how I know…I've been there, done that and promoted it…Remember, I have been in the industry for quite some time now and if you know me, you know I lay it out there and reveal the BS!! It's time we all know the truth!!

From the false promises, manipulation, bad advice from "fitness coaches", fast results, and the advice from all the "experts" out there on social media…I'll be talking about it all.

I get that it can be frustrating when it comes to weight loss struggles. I've had a few clients who have used diet pills in the past only to end up having even more struggles.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about a few of the dangers of diet pills and how they can affect your overall health. I get it, we feel that if we are overweight, we are risking our health…BUT do we really even know the cost these diet pills are putting on our health? Which is the lesser of 2 evils? If you know me, you may already know the answer. If not, don't worry, I'll be sure to bring it all into the light in this podcast.

For individuals with a strong desire to lose or maintain their weight, diet pills may seem like a magical solution. The manufacturers of these products make fancy promises about the "magic" these drugs can do, but most of these claims are not backed up by clinical research.

In fact, these drugs that promise to help you shed pounds or burn fat may hold hidden dangers to your health. In spite of the risks of using diet supplements, the demand for these products continues to rise, especially among individuals with eating disorders.

I'm just going to throw a few of the dangers out there real quick such as addiction, increased risk for heart attacks and strokes, ineffectiveness, along with multiple different side effects…not to mention the lack of sustainability. It may look tempting, especially if you've been battling that scale for more than half your life...BUT, before you go popping that pill, I want you to listen to this podcast before you make ANY decision.

Let's dive in…shall we?

So many times, we step on the scale and we're either doing the happy dance because it's down a few pounds OR we are ticked as all get out because the numbers have gone up a bit. Are ya feeling me here?

In this episode, I'll be filling you on on a few of the reasons the scale fluctuates ON A DAILY BASIS…it's really nothing to get all worked up about. If you are anything like I used to be, it would literally set the tone for the day.

Before we get started, let me just fill you in on a little secret…the scale doesn't define you nor does it really give a straight answer on your overall health.

I get it, the scale causes a LOT of anxiety for some people…it used to drive me crazy whenever I stepped on it. Over time, I developed a healthier relationship with it…I know many of us need to improve our relationship with the scale so I hope this podcast helps.

The beginning of a good relationship with the scale starts with understanding your weight will fluctuate! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is a science!! Not a moral debate on self-worth! Many factors contribute to weight spikes that have nothing to do with fat gain! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Your weight can fluctuate based on this such as, how much water you've been drinking, how much sodium you are eating, whether or not you have taken a POOP lately ( yep, I went there), stress, and hormonal changes in your body…NOT ONE OF THEM has a thing to do with FAT gain so don't sweat it. Let's talk a bit more about all of this…shall we?

I hear it all the time...I just don't seem to be building any muscle or losing fat and I've been working out for a while now. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm going to be revealing 5 reasons why you're not losing fat and building muscle.

If you're exercising on a regular basis, it's easy to get frustrated when you're not seeing the results you're working so hard to achieve. Yet before you get down on yourself or, worse, start to think that your working out isn't quite working out, hear me out. You may just need to make a few simple tweaks to your routine to start building muscle and melting fat.

I get it… You've been working out, and eating what you think is right, but you're just not gaining the muscle that you thought you would or losing the fat. It sucks! Doesn't it?

Sure, you could lift weights until you're blue in the face, day in and day out, following the best exercise and nutrition plan out there to a tee, but without an adequate amount of nutrients, you're not going to get where you want to go. Ohhhh could that be one of the 5 reasons??

From getting enough rest to eating enough and being consistent with your workouts, I'm giving you the low down on it all.
